I applied to an open role with an internal referral almost a month ago. Is Amazon one of the companies who you can just never hear from at all? My status still says “application submitted” and I’m just wondering what experiences others on here have had with Amazon.

Often it takes awhile to line you up with the right job to kick off the process, unfortunately. Referrals should help that in theory, but that position might be in the process of getting filled or may not be deemed to be the best fit. Our recruiting teams also go through a lot of resumes/applications, so the experience can be hit or miss. Talk to the person who referred you and suggest that they reach out to the hiring manager and recruiter directly, as that usually helps things move along. Just submitting a referral often doesn’t do much.

I’ve been “under consideration” for a role for a year. I too had multiple internal referrals from senior executives. As you might imagine, I’ve long since moved on.

I applied to several other roles, and very slowly (over 6+ months), the dashboard has been updated with those other roles dropping off as no longer being considered. In fact, several of the positions only ever showed as “application submitted” and then suddenly showed up as archived. Other positions for which I was “under consideration” have also been archived. The process is unceremonious and generally without any communication (e.g., email or text) alerting you to a status change aside from checking the portal.

Looking for some guidance and advise: I'm at the tail end of the interview process with a company and am told I've got one last round to go with their VP. I've also been invited by the recruiter and the hiring director for an in-person visit to their office to meet them the very next day to show around and then they'll treat me out for dinner. I haven't received any offer from them yet. Is this normal/usual for employers to invite candidates for dinners before making an offer?
